Red Aubergine in extra virgin olive oil

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The red aubergine of Basilicata is a rare and distinctive vegetable. In appearance it is in every way similar to a tomato but is in fact an eggplant. It has a bitter and slightly spicy flavor and is characterized by a very fruity aroma. Because of its above-average nutritional values it also falls under the so-called all-Italian “super foods.”

Enrico and Maddalena came up with the idea of thinly slicing the red aubergine, sprinkling it with oregano and covering it with their very good extra virgin olive oil, for a delicacy that can easily be an appetizer to enjoy with friends or a side dish to pair with meat and fish. It is the ideal ingredient for a Southern-style gourmet sandwich or a winning pairing with a raw-milk cheese.

Would you be willing, to save a small amount of money, to compromise your health and the pleasure that properly made food brings you? Here, the benefits of good Italian food, the fruit of the expert hands of true artisans of the table, are these. 

Over the years the raw material has lost its soul and food has become something to be swallowed without too much attention. Therefore, the time has come for us to take back the pleasure of being at the table and to start taking care of our bodies again, not only in appearance but also through what we ingest. Making food our medicine is possible, but only if we know the exact origin of the raw material and the processing methods: we at Gustatium have thought about this for you, selecting the best small Italian producers and making them available to you on our website.

SHIPPING

We receive your order, prepare it and ship it in 24/36 hours.

We are aware that excellent products need excellent packaging and at the same time we cannot risk damaging in any way the precious Italian culinary jewels: for this reason our warehouse is equipped with temperature and lighting ideal for food preservation and the most delicate ones (cheeses, cold cuts and craft beers) are stored inside cold rooms. During shipping, on the other hand, each product is protected with the packaging most appropriate to its characteristics.

Cheeses and cured meats, which despite being aged require special care, travel accompanied by a special slow-release gel ice inside isothermal bags: in this way freshness is preserved until the goods arrive at your home.

For our craft beers, which are unpasteurized and therefore more sensitive to high temperatures than normal, we use special isothermal bubble wrap, which can ensure that the accumulated cold is maintained for the shipping time while protecting the bottles from shocks.

To secure the precious bottles of Italian wine, we have equipped ourselves with special inflatable bags, designed solely for the purpose of immobilizing and protecting this product inside the box.

For jars containing a thousand Italian goodnesses, we use special protective bubble wrap liners.
